Thinking That Life Should Be Linear or Constantly Go Upwards? 📈🙃

If only growth came as a smooth, straight climb…

But anyone who’s watched a stock chart knows: that’s just not how it works.

Even the strongest uptrend is made of higher highs and higher lows.

Dips don’t mean disaster — they’re part of the curve.

📉 Then 📈

Down… then up.

That’s how momentum builds.

Life Works the Same Way

Growth is never a straight line.

Every steep climb is often preceded by a dip — a messy, confusing, uncomfortable period that feels like regression… but it’s not.

It’s part of the process 🌪️➡️🌤️

Sometimes:

🔧 Things fall apart before they come together.

🌱 We outgrow old ways before new ones feel natural.

🔥 We break down, just enough, to break through.

Don’t Panic in the Dip 💬

“Life gets worse before it gets better” isn’t a warning.

It’s a reminder.

Zoom out. Trust the curve. Stay with the process.

What looks like a setback now might be the launchpad to your next big breakthrough 🚀

And What If the Dips Got Easier?

The best part?

💪 If you show up for yourself —

do the hard things, even when things are going well —

you’ll start noticing that your next dip? It’s not as deep.

Your bear 🐻 markets get milder.

Your bounce-backs 🏀 get faster.

Your baseline keeps rising 🙌

Life Throws Challenges at Those It Believes In

When life gets bumpy, it’s not punishment.

It’s potential.

A nudge from life saying:

“Hey, I see you’re ready to level up!” 🆙

Keep walking. Keep showing up.

Not despite the mess — but through it 🌿

🪞Your Turn

Where in life are you in a “dip” right now?

What’s one thing you can do to keep showing up — even when it doesn’t feel easy?
